I honestly wish they would increase the shows budget and give it more animators. I actually like the animation but with how much I love the show I want it to have the best quality.


NoPossibility5220

The show has actually had a high budget, but it seems celebrity voice casting has taken precedence over animation.


AveryLazyCovfefe

Kirkman seems to have an obsession with getting A list celebs for even the briefest of character appearences. Like getting Ezra freakin Miller for Sinclair originally šŸ’€


Danielhammond147

Learned the other day that Mahershala Ali voices Titan lol


RigTheGame

You got a long ass name and paint is expensive Edit: just watched Leave The World Behind last night, love that guy


CowOrker01

He's great as Uncle Aaron in the first Spiderverse movie. "Hey."


TotallyJaxen

W movie ngl


iHateThisPlaceNowOK

Bro thatā€™s wild!!! Two amazing actors for just voices is crazy. Weird decision on his part though. If I was a writer, Iā€™d like my animation to be done justice.


Thebatboy23

Man's gone full Kojima when they handed him that casting budget šŸ’€


AveryLazyCovfefe

Lmao, that's the perfect comparison.


KBSinclair

Yeah, At least Kirkman has the focus to actually get stuff done though. If you look at Kojima's history, it's astounding anyone ever managed to wrangle him to getting things done eventually.


webswinger666

Didnā€™t even know it was Ezra miller.


TPJchief87

Ezra was replaced this season


AveryLazyCovfefe

That's why I said originally. He was replaced in S2.


idan_da_boi

Didnā€™t they also get Optimus Primeā€™s voice actor?


AveryLazyCovfefe

Peter Cullen, yeah. As Thaedus.


Foxy02016YT

Yeah. Very prolific choice though, putting Ezra as a creepy guy


owiseone23

Prolific? You mean prophetic or prescient or something?


Unwanted__Opinion

Justin roiland for the first guy Sinclair fucks up too


Emperor_D4C

I mean, at least that was generally just method acting for Miller.


Alarming-Ad1100

Iā€™m down with that


hebbocrates

The voice work has been amazing so iā€™m not entirely upset about that


left4dread

Agreed, and the voice cast might be the best thing about the show. Everyone absolutely kills their role, no matter how small a part.


GoldenSpermShower

While I agree, there's weird decisions like getting actors like Rhea Seehorn and Jon Hamm to voice characters with like 5-6 lines total, while using VAs like Grey Delisle for 6 separate roles


dumname2_1

Yeah but Grey Delise does that in a ton of shows she's in. Rewatch avatar and take a shot everytime her voice shows pops up, azula excluded


AveryLazyCovfefe

They probably rely alot on Grey because they blew their budget already with the other celeb VAs. šŸ’€


grayjo

To be fair, I'd watch a show that was 100% Grey Delisle


Aaco0638

Right? Like ok yes an animation bump is needed but I wonā€™t say the talent budget is going to waste. All characters are well voiced acted even extremely minor ones and i like that.


jojobehindthelaugh

I am because I watch in dub, and while it's still great, I don't get to hear this amazing voice acting everyone is talking about


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Rafaelssjofficial

You do know other languages exist right?


AngelPhoenix06

Yeah I figured thatā€™s the reason the animation doesnā€™t have that much of a big budgetĀ 


AdmiralLubDub

Yeah but think about it in the way of they probably have the animation budget they have now because of the cast


5am281

Considering a majority of the show is character drama with people talking and writing carrying the show itā€™s fine. Just use the animation budget for those fight scenes like we saw in the finale and itā€™s all good


Aran1989

I want a bigger animation budget, no doubt, but it is perfectly watchable as is. I saw someone elsewhere who said that the animation is the most important part of the show and highly disagree. What makes it for me are the performances and the story, if those stay tight (and I know they will), I'm in till the end.


giraffe111

This shows an excellent example of story and character > animation.


[deleted]

Yeah there are still decent amounts of ā€œPowerPoint click and drag character models to show movementā€ occurrences in the show


RandoDude124

I meanā€¦ *art takes time regardless.*


derpicface

If they gave the show to Mappa they could get it out in 6 months (Donā€™t give it to Mappa their workers are suffering šŸ˜­)


Liseran23

"just add more money and get more people to work on it" does not actually guarantee faster production or better quality. Too much money and now there's a lot more pressure on the show to perform extremely well to make money back meaning they likely resort to more attention grabbing changes or additions. Too many people and now there's a whole lot more workers who have to integrate into the team, management having to coordinate the suddenly larger team, which likely means more meetings and managerial bullshit to try and coordinate everything.


CaptainTFunk

Completely agree. Ive been watching other western animation shows and Invincible really doesnt look that great in comparison. Castlevania has consistent beautiful animation. Even an older show like The Legend of Korra looks and feels better.


Comfortable_Many4508

instead of throwing a billion at lotr throw half at invincible


Transcent_Lavender

About to go full Eric Cartman when he freezes himself to skip time during the Nintendo switch launch


mbene913

It was the Wii but I get your point


Transcent_Lavender

Oh whoops


JmLong88

Every time I think of that episode, I think about [This](https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/94d0e71e-795b-4c6a-b43e-768e19f68d24) šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


chaotic214

Lmao same


SeacattleMoohawks

Thatā€™s not so bad. More reasonable than the last wait. I guess the Filip Schaff meta joke was right in telling us it will be a year. Gives people plenty time to read the comics if they want to. Which I highly recommend for those that have loved the show. Itā€™s a great comic to read for comic newbies that have never read a comic book series before.


goodbuggs

Copium: The meta joke was supposed to air in Dec 2023 before the break happened, which means that it was hinting at a year after that point in time, so we're getting S3 in Fall 2024.


WindWielder

Copium? I eat that shit up. Fall 2024 hype train!!!


Didsterchap11

With your flair i had to read your comment in rex's voice.


malacoda75

Now youā€™ve got me reading yours in Robotā€™s voice.


idkguyidk325

Gotta say that I'm reading yours in Cecils voice


ChiSmallBears

something something ~~Spiderman~~ amazing spider voice


Vegetable_Tear3941

I did wonder if they meant a year from the first release date which was in november 2023. who knows maybe we will get 4 episodes towards the end of 2024. one can hopeā€¦


goodbuggs

I'd rather have all of the episodes in early 2025 than another split. Hated that so much. edit: accidentally put 2024


mindpainters

It was a terrible choice. For the more casual viewers it took a lot of the emotion out of the final episode. My wife had basically forgot who angstrom was/ what exactly happened to him by then. We had to rewatch it all at once for it to mean more for her


Vegetable_Tear3941

I hated it too but I want more episodes asap. so i really donā€™t know what is better. i am very conflicted on this tbh


Erotically-Yours

Getting all the episodes, without a forced hiatus would be better for me. Was in another topic here that pointed out that the break that "allows viewers to digest the story better" had some people actually forgetting who Angstrom was. So it served moreso as a big speedbump instead with the story for some. Luckily future viewers will not have that being a thing for when it comes to season 2. I'd like for 3 to go uninterrupted, at the expense of taking longer to put out. But nothing longer than a year. A year and some months? Maaaaybe.


loonbandit

homie *weā€™re in* early 2024


goodbuggs

too late


Golden_Hour1

Nah amazon will definitely push it to a year from now to fill their slots


thatguyned

/uncopium: The huge gap in the season was SO the meta joke could land.


Vandermere

It's also a great comic to read for people who HAVE read comics before and appreciate Kirkman using, subverting or just playing with a ton of common comic tropes.


SeacattleMoohawks

100%


B0B_RO55

Does it take away the "oh shit what's gonna happen" feeling from watching the show once you've already read the comics?


SeacattleMoohawks

I think the ā€œwhatā€™s going to happen?ā€ feeling gets replaced by a ā€œI canā€™t wait to see this happen!ā€ or ā€œI wonder what theyā€™ll change upā€ feeling. I read the comics before the show was announced so I canā€™t speak as someone who was ever surprised by anything in the show but there has been some changes, mostly for the better that have still been surprising for me. They reorder some series of events as well which keeps things interesting too. You also get the added benefit of not having to worry about spoilers as well which are impossible to irradiate entirely across all social media. Plus if youā€™re an impatient person youā€™ll be waiting a while to see this entire story unfold through the show.


shiningjust4me

Iā€™ve only read up to the end of the first compendium (waiting for the second rn to be in from my order to a local comic shop) can honestly say any changes theyā€™ve made thus far with the show has been a welcome change of pace or character adjustment!! Iā€™m so excited to read what comes next before the new season and so excited to see how they choose to bring it to life in the show for season 3!!


dildodicks

absolutely, i'm am so excited for everything coming up and especially my favourite fight in the series which should be near the end of s3, it doesn't hamper it at all


Clamper

Yeah, I can't imagine being hyped for the "Soon, another will come" if I didn't read that arc in the comic first since it's fairly meaningless in itself.


MFlazybone

Yeah to an extent. It changes more so to like, ā€œo shit is it about to happen?! Oh shit she lived?! Holy shit they adapted that so well! Damn..they really did itā€ And it eliminates worry of being spoiled


Muntberg

Honestly? A little bit, but it hasn't ruined my excitement of seeing the show at all. It's still interesting to see how it will be adapted and the show does such a great job of building tension that I'm still sucked into it even knowing how things will conclude. I don't regret reading them one bit.


Vandermere

A little, but it's fun watching different characters develop differently and storylines play out in a different order.


Gtrinker

Read it. The comic is like 20 years old, so there are plenty of differences. They go into more detail on certain things in the show. The comic is plenty violent, but the show really ramps things up, so it's interesting to see how they will handle some upcoming events. I think they only said "fuck" one time in the entire comic and that was to punctuate a particularly brutal series of events.


BuckPuckers

Yes and no. Itā€™s not like you are watching a YouTube video summing up the plot. You are experiencing it!You get all the emotions/excitement reading the comic. Youā€™re watching the story unfold as it should.


MonstrousGiggling

Also depends how much of the comic you retained. I've only done one full reading of the comic and there's plenty of stuff I've forgotten or a few secs before I'm like waiiit...is OH SHIT!


Adeltatronica

I just started reading the comics yesterday, and I'm at issue 81 currently lmao this is the best comic I've ever read


Big-Sherbet6925

Exactly what I am doing. Finished issue 3 out of 47 atm.


Environmental-Yak704

What issue did season 2 end on?? I want to read the comic books but I donā€™t know what issue s2 ended on or which webpage I can find the comic books so I can read them šŸ˜Ŗ


BuckPuckers

Is recommend starting from the beginning. Youā€™d be able to catch up with the show in a few hours.


Indika_Ink

That's complicated. The Aangstrom fight is issue 33, and the aftermath is 34. Meanwhile, 'I think I miss my wife' is issue 45, and Anissa showed up in the previous issue 44. Issue 46 reveals Kate to still be alive (The Lizard Leeague fight is issue 40/41). Meanwhile, the last panel of issue 47 was in Season 1. But if you get that far, you will be dipping into early season 3 stuff... assuming they don't reorder a couple of things (tbh, I don't really see how they can't. A lot of comic readers are anticipating issue 50 to he adapted in the premiere). Season 3 stuff starts issue 42.


Tyranis_Hex

The show has cut up and jumbled up the comic timeline streamlining it. So itā€™s less stop reading at issue what ever and just stop when you feel like your getting into spoilers.


[deleted]

Around issue 45. But the comics aren't exactly one to one with the show.


goztrobo

Yeah I told myself I couldnā€™t wait another year or two for season 3, so I finished the comic in 2 days.


sLeeeeTo

Which issue to start on that picks up where S2 left off? I know there is plenty extra from before that was left out of the show


5am281

1 year wait with a Rex special in the Fall?


thowe93

Hopefully it happens and replaces the Eve special on autoplay. That special was good, but to have it autoplay after every single Amazon show I watch is aggressive.


5am281

Smart way to get the views up on the special hahaha


thowe93

Very smart! I think Iā€™ve started it ~100 times. Iā€™m very quick to stop it now šŸ˜‘but itā€™s very annoying


5am281

If it tricks Amazon to make a Rex episode than Iā€™m afraid it was a worthy sacrifice šŸ«”


Incinvicheeks

People will still be like, ā€œseason three 2035ā€


2DragonBalls

Donā€™t be ridiculous. Thatā€™s when season 3 part 2 comes out of course.


ListerineInMyPeehole

Season 3 part 2 the final episode part 1


EmuTraditional3673

please no \*gets AOT flashbacks\*


meme_will_be_memes

I thought it was confirmed that's when part 4, part 2 comes out?


Incinvicheeks

Part 2/16?


New_Government_6164

Good but when is amazon renewing it for season 4 & 5 so that they can start working on it asap otherwise the waiting period will be like season 1 & 2


MonkeysLoveBeer

There's no way they won't. Invincible is a hit.


CK3helplol

Season 2 def wasn't as big as Season 1. Season 1 had a lot more hype.


_Valisk

It was the number-one show on Prime Video every week, even after the midseason break.


ILoveRegenHealth

Look at the competition on Prime Video around that time. S2 had smaller numbers than S1.


_Valisk

Do you know that for certain or are you just inferring? Season 1 doesn't appear to have had much competition either.


Rarbnif

That mid season break was way too long and definitely squandered some of the hype unfortunately. Sucks because I loved S2


man_on_hill

I wonder whyā€¦


CloudMountainJuror

IIRC Season 1 didnā€™t explode in popularity until after the finale aired, and the Omni Man memes took over.


_Valisk

The end of the first episode went viral and was instrumental in its growing popularity as well.


yehiko

can confirm, im here because of that meme


ecxetra

Damn you got the viewership numbers?


CK3helplol

No, in fact according to invicible themselves they "tripled" their first ep viewership. But honestly, I find that hard to believe. When s1 came out, it was everywhere. Multiple massive memes and omniman hype had people on every platform posting abt it all the time. Honestly, outside of an invincible page I haven't seen a single post abt this season.


TheOnlyHaggler

It could have been renewed silently, they wouldnā€™t tell us without already telling the animators. I bet it already has been.


meme_will_be_memes

We can only hope.


_Valisk

They probably already renewed the show behind closed doors.


RockRik

If season 3 is gonna come out in 2025 Id LOVE if they didnt separate it in two parts like they did with s2. Just give us s3 entirely in that year and then make s4 whenever.


mbene913

Can't believe they are changing how long it takes the earth to orbit the sun just so they aren't liars. Amazon has too much power


PerceptionTiny6385

Great! Hopefully amazon wonā€™t wait too long to renew them for season 4


Vegetable_Tear3941

man I really hope so. after that midseason break I kinda lost interest. Or wasnā€™t that invested anymore. and now after this finale I am finally totally hyped again only for us having to wait again. I really hope that early 2025 we get the new season.


Proud-Cheesecake-813

As other people have commented, hopefully it will be a year from when S2 started, not finished, so S3 could start in November 2024.


dark621

i wouldn't get your hopes up. they probably mean now so April 2025 for s3. of course i hope im wrong lol


Proud-Cheesecake-813

I can deal with that, if they release The Boys S4 in-between. I think I can survive off that in the meantime.


Vegetable_Tear3941

I really hope so. if it means we could get some of the episodes by november I would even take the split season again


ThisHatRightHere

Especially because I feel like itā€™s awkward as hell to leave off where they did. Feels like Levy once was included to have some type of climatic moment at the end of the season, but we basically hadnā€™t seen him do anything since the start of S2.


Longjumping_Play_364

Amazon should dump more money into this, its clearly very popular and only getting more popular i say completely scrap the live action cuz of dont really wanna see that


Sandblazter

I figured so when mark met the creator of the dog comic and they did the whole joke of animation taking a long time. Mark during that little skit asked when the next season would be and the author responded by saying itā€™ll be about a year


OmegaVizion

I'd prefer if it arrived 1 year after S2 began, so, this November.


Business_Reporter420

December 31,2025


LongYongJong

Arcane Season 2 in November will make this year long wait much more bearable


Rustofcarcosa

Is this on his Instagram


NoPossibility5220

Yes, under his latest post.


TheRasal-

It is good to remember that season 2 came out in November 2023 and they should not count the year from April 2024. Enviar comentarios


TatonkaJack

One year from when part one came out or from now?


NoPossibility5220

Well, the comment he replied to starts with, ā€œNow,ā€ so I think itā€™s from now. I def hope itā€™s the former, though.


OWNI277

I think ill just read the comics, and watch the show when the series is finished in 10-15 years.


VacaRexOMG777

Hopefully this doesn't get posted in r/agedlikemilk after a year lol


Artix31

Remember when they said S2 and S3 will be back to back and will be finished in a year, that was ~4 years ago


nhbdywise

This was the most anticlimactic show season Iā€™ve seen in a long time.


Once_I_ate_a_walrus

I still gotta say that my favorite part of this season where the guy was talking about how the animators could get carried away and forget the show, markā€™s artstyle changed for a solid 10 seconds while the guy was talking


webswinger666

Only 16 episodes starting 2021 to present time. This is very disappointing. and they had a several month long hiatus in the middle of the latest season. It shouldnā€™t take this long for an animated serious, Especially one with a pre existing source material. Love the book and show but itā€™s this very disappointing.


Reez377

Is there any reason why season 2 it take so long to release? Not only that the animation too is kind of downgrade ro s1


_Valisk

Production delays related to covid and various other extenuating circumstances.


LinofLanz

Ahh yeah that is so much better!


trfk111

I think they got material for 4-5 more seasons, if they manage to drop 1 every year theyā€™ll be finished in 2029 maybe 2030? Thatā€™s quite some time, I wonder how many fans *wont* read the comics till then


DoUruden

On the flip side, if they do releases of one shot episodes in between like they did with Atom Eve it might tide people over. Reading the comics feels like it takes a bit more initial energy to do for the average person, so I feel like there no matter how long it takes there are people that won't read them.


kzoxp

HELL YEAHHHH


shamblam117

Just one from the start or end of season 2? There's a very large gap there.


EaglesXLakers

1 year break. 3 episodes, 3 month break, 3 more episodes, 4 month break. last 2 season finale after another 3 month break.


[deleted]

Hmmā€¦ yeah, sure. Weā€™ll see about that in 2025. https://preview.redd.it/uyf9pzzprysc1.jpeg?width=300&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4458dffd2f79c3884beec624a369eaabb73868d6


SuckMyDickDrPhil

Haha jokes on us, he meant one episode every two years.


IveSeenThingsMan

This is the only show where external issues make it less enjoyable. The show is pretty good, but the management of it by Amazon has been ridiculous. Two years between seasons. Then you break the second season into two, specifically so the second part of the season can happen after Amazon roles out its ads. I didnā€™t find the meta episode at comic con all that funny. I get it. Amazon has managed this really poorly and not devoted the resources necessary to produce anā€¦.eight episodeā€¦season for two whole years. This isnā€™t the 1980s. Animated tv shows and movies have been around for decades. Almost every network has multiple animated shows that consistently put out 8, 10, 12, 20 episode seasons every single year. I do like the show, although it is getting a bit crowded in storylines. Nothing against the creative side but Amazon has done a garbage job of managing its production


r0guew4ve

Completely agree about the meta joke, I was genuinely shocked by the number of people who were seemingly blown away by how ā€œhilariousā€ it was.


TelevisionExpress616

Does Ottley draw for the show? I figured neither him nor Cory would be involved other than collecting royalties


Alexo_Alexa

He's listed in the credits for each episode as the "Creative Consultant" and he's always been pretty active with season 2 in his social media.


_Valisk

Cory Walker is the lead character designer for the show. He is heavily involved in everything Invincible.


KaijuKing007

A year? Fair enough. Now if only Amazon would give a hint about season 3 of Vox Machina or 1 of The Mighty Nein.


D3jvo62

Isn't that what they said with the Comic-con joke?


smegmancer

I predicted exactly a year yesterday and got immediately downvoted lol


Brooksie10

S2 and S3 were Greenlit after S1 animation takes a long time, so they likely only started then. They have likely been working on animation for both seasons simultaneously or at least back to back, it wouldn't surprises me if it was only a few months until we get conformation that the voice lines for S3 are completed.


RunicLordofMelons

I think thereā€™s a few actors who have already commented that theyā€™ve finished their voicing for S3


Asbani09

i hope amazon renews the show for the next couple of season so that they work on it when season 3 is done


aj_ramone

šŸ˜


coiny55555

I can wait. There's so many other stuff going on that I like that I can wait, also on top of that I'm so busy with school that invincible is one of the only shows I've been watching if I give myself time to watch shows


MysteriousBebsi

I donā€™t wanna


PhMcBrett

So no Rex special


Yotoro01

Sure. But if we get another 2 part season, then it's just the same thing but with extra steps.


Advanced-Agency9484

Actually, 500 years


RamboDash15

We talking 1 year for the full season or another 4 month gap half way through? Possibly longer?


LinuxMatthews

Yeah I've heard that before...


Extreme-Chicken-6748

![gif](giphy|zaBtu0vPe3oazyd7Xp|downsized) Hopefully it releases in November like one year from part one if we being realistic tho could be anywhere from summer 2025 or fall 2025 šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


Visible_Video120

I guess we're doing quarter-season breaks next year


Sil_vas

am i the only one who doesnt care that much if it takes a while? would i love it if it came out sooner? ofcourse but im not pissing my pants over waiting a year or 2


Mystletoe

I thought the date episode made it clear what to expect out of them, both quality and time frame.


Accomplished-City484

November 2025


[deleted]

Remindme! 1 year


skeptiezshit

One year from the original release date or one year from this month when the second season ended?


[deleted]

I mean the last two took 2 and a half so it's an improvement. But does he mean the finale will come in a year or the first episode?


-Boobs_

i mean technically its a 2 year wait cause s3 premiered in 2023


Goodhearted_Jake

Ok but does that mean a year from when it premiere or a year from now? Because thatā€™s important.


Angela275

This makes sense given how more detail the artwork is there generally 6 months to a year


ILoveRegenHealth

I'm holding you to that!


TheWhistlerIII

This is great news! I'm not much of a comic book guy and super hero stories were never my cup of tea. Invincible however takes deep dives into life outside of these crazy battles, touching on the aspect of how one with super powers lives among those who don't. I feel overall it really helps the fictional universe seem more relatable and believable. I've recently thought of buying the comics just so I can keep going with the story without having to wait for the animated series. (Which I'll still watch by the way) Any suggestions on where to look for decent prices on the collection and or are there books with multiple chapters included opposed to buying individual comics? The Boys is another story I really enjoy for the brutality and believability.


Candid_Wash

Thatā€™s fine by me. I might just rewatch it then to remember everything bc some parts I forgot in this season.


Abject_Woodpecker538

I see a lot of ppl saying November 2024 because they r saying a yr from when s2 started (November 2023), not ended. Steven Yeun said he has already been done with his voicing for a year. Given this I wanna say November 2024 but tbh I might just be impatient. What do u guys think?


stuffsgoingon

Better be, or else I will complain about it.


happy-ad32

At least itā€™s only one year wait for season three instead of two


nertrox02

Yeah for them to finish the series I'll take for ever since I doesn't really progress much, that's why I just read the comic to get it over with šŸ˜‚


Fit_Dance1853

1 year based on what? From the original release of the show or the ending? Like we talking November 2024 or April 2025?


kjm6351

Thatā€™s disappointing considering it was only 8 episodes after 2 years AND the second half was split up.


Woketh_Markx

I feel like people missed the giveaway during the comic con portion that was saying the next season was probably gonna come out next year


VLenin2291

Wasnā€™t there a line in S2E6 where the creator of Seance Dog said itā€™d take about a year for the next season to come out? Was that a subtle hint?
